Earlier this month we were delighted to welcome journalists to the Smart Internet Lab in Bristol for our media launch of UKTIN’s R&D Discovery Toolkit.
It was a pleasure to talk attendees through the toolkit, the problems it solves, the process to create it and future plans. Plus of course, putting the toolkit through its paces in some live demos.
And here’s what the media had to say about the toolkit:
- Telecoms Review Europe: “Prof. Dimitra Simeonidou, UKTIN’s Lead for UK Research Capability, emphasised the importance of a central platform to make it easier for companies to navigate the UK’s telecom landscape, and the new AI-powered Discovery Toolkit serves this purpose.”
- Telecoms Reseller: “Powered by AI, the toolkit instantly summarises vast amounts of data and delivers actionable insights – such as potential companies in which to invest or university research groups working in a specific area.”
- eeNews Europe: “UK telecoms has historically been difficult to navigate. The problem is that the complex sector suffers from dispersed data across numerous sources, making it challenging for professionals to stay updated on industry and academic developments, trends, and opportunities. The toolkit addresses this critical gap by consolidating fragmented information into a cohesive, user-friendly platform.”
- Capacity: “The toolkit is designed to be easy to use, leveraging large language models, including Google’s Gemini family of models, to summarise vast amounts of data to provide insights into potential telco-relevant applications.”
- Telecom Paper: “The toolkit, developer by the University of Bristol, provides free and easy access to research and public information across the UK telecoms industry.”
- Telecom Reseller: “UKTIN will continue to develop the toolkit based on data and feedback on the experiences of live users. These insights will lead to ongoing and iterative improvements to ensure the toolkit continues to address the sector’s evolving needs.”
